The key-note speaker for the 1975 ASA Convention, Peter
Hackes, present NBC White House correspondant, brings
with him a wealth of political knowledge. Mr. Hackes will give
the key-note address at the ASA Convention on March 4, at
7 p.m. in the gym. He will be speaking on the topic of youth
and political conventions.
In addition to his coverage of the proceedings at every
Democratic and Republican convention for the past 20
years, Mr. Hackes' political credentials include information
gathered from 22 years spent in Washington, D. C. His NBC
assignments take him to Capitol Hill almost daily to cover
Congressional debates and hearings. He not only reports
events of the White House, but has been invited there social-ly
by three presidents. His reporting of presidential news in-cludes
six presidential campaigns and election nights, six in-augurals,
and three presidential family weddings.
While covering the news, Mr. Hackes is brought into con-tact
with some of the leading men in government and the
sciences such as Dr. Wernher Von Braun, the space expert;
Russell Train, head of the Environmental Protection Agency;
Chief Judge John Sirica of the Watergate case; and con-sumer
advocate Ralph Nader.
In addition to his coverage of every U.S. manned space
flight since the first Alan Shephard and John Glenn exploits,
his past assignments have included the 1962 Cuban missile
crisis when as NBC's Pentagon correspondent, Mr. Hackes
spent 22 consecutive hours broadcasting developments
from inside the Pentagon. In June 1968, Mr. Hackes broad-cast
non-stop for 29 hours the tragic developments of the
Robert Kennedy assassination in Los Angeles.
Mr. Hackes also reported on the 1956 Hungarian revolt
airlift; the McKeon (Parris Island) court martial in 1956; the
devastating Chilean earthquake of 1960; the burial of Presi-dent
Kennedy in Arlington Cemetery in 1963; and the
Chicago disturbances at the 1968 Democratic convention.
More recently, Mr. Hackes has covered Gov. Wallace's many
days at Holy Cross Hospital just outside Washington, D.C.,
many of the Watergate developments, and numerous
presidential news conferences.
Peter Hackes was born in New York City and grew up in a
suburb, Pelham Manor, N.Y. He earned a B.A. degree from
Grinnell College and an M.A. in journalism from the Univer-sity
of Iowa. He also holds two honorary degrees: Doctor of
Humane Letters (Grinnell College) and Doctor of Letters
(Newberry College). He served three years with the Navy
during World War II.
Tentatively, Mr. Hackes will speak for an hour, with a half-hour
session of questions and answers following. Students
and faculty and any interested persons of the community are
invited to attend the Hackes' key-note address and/or to
watch the convention proceedings following the address.
The Convention dates are March 3, 4, and 5. Volunteers for
convention committees are still needed. If you would like to
work on the convention or have any questions concerning it,
please contact Carol Hansen, ph. 9-0493; Bonnie Borman, 6-
4695; or Bob Boyce, 6-4645.
Campus delegates are reminded to attend the delegation
meetings next week in the respective dorm lounges. The off-campus
delegation meeting will be held in the Commons
Lounge. (Dates and times will be posted.)
One last note, if you are planning to run for any office, take
out a petition from the Commons desk, or from the bulletin
board outside of the A.S.A. office. Return petitions to Cam-pus
Box 677.
